Possibly setting up new business in Arlington-Dallas-Fort Worth, TEXAS area near his parents and sister and her husband.

John Golfis uses his wife, Mary Ding Golfis, to act as "front" to serve as officer in his corporations to evade taxes and child support. He married Mary Ding Golfis 5/10/2004 for the sole purpose to serve as his "patsy" to evade child support. His sister Anna O'Brien and her husband Jeremiah O'Brien also choose to openly aid and abet John Golfis by paying him for work performed for their corporation, Process Data Control Corp. (PDCCORP.com). This is done while evading payroll tax or income tax. John Golfis' parents live in Mansfield, Texas and also openly aid and abet John Golfis in evading both taxes and child support by sheltering unreported income received by John Golfis in new mercedes cars and other valuable assets.

Mary Ding Golfis is listed under recent new corporation called American Virtual Dimensions, Inc. incorporated in California (Corporate ID C2615887)and a website is operating for this company under www.avdshowcase.com

John & Mary Golfis recently fled California, along with her 2 children (5 & 18) to Texas (former recent address is 5830 CLOVERLY AVE #C,TEMPLE CITY, CA 91780) for the sole purpose to evade paying child support owed and avoid contempt of court hearing held 1/20/2006. Texas records show John Golfis applied to register as sex offender in TX during October 2005 and photo shows date of 2/23/06, therefore, this was planned well in advance.

John Golfis is known to use several aliases, however, has been most successful by using numerous corporations as his "store front" to evade IRS and child support.

John Golfis uses numerous employees to serve as his "patsy" whether it be to open bank accounts under new corporations under their name and their name as officer on account to funnel large sums of money received from customers for business transactions he is in full control of. Often business transactions are in excess of $100,000.

Oddly, IRS has not yet prosecuted John Golfis even though he has not filed tax returns in MANY years while making millions. This has been documented via extensive FBI investigations detailing his complicated and savvy business deals with CEOs of large corporations wherein John Golfis received hundreds of thousands of dollars while not paying ONE DIME in child support or taxes.

USA v JOHN CONSTANTINE GOLFIS

BIGGEST "DEADBEAT DAD" IN U.S. HISTORY IS SENT TO FEDERAL PRISON

It's about time! It took more than 1 decade to get the feds to prosecute John Constantine Golfis for his crimes in this case. This is after federal prosecutors REFUSED (in writing) to prosecute Golfis in 1997 when he owed over $100,000 in child support for multiple minor children. Instead, since at least 1997, Golfis has been ENABLED or otherwise given the GREEN LIGHT (by our state and federal criminal justice systems) to continue to victimize many more Americans and to RETALIATE against anyone that reported his crimes and cooperated with law enforcement.

On August 12, 2009 that changed when a federal judge ordered John Constantine Golfis to federal prison and to pay $391,400 in restitution to the crime victims in this case.

Better late than NEVER.

The Court also found that Golfis DOES have the ability to pay and that he failed to comply with his PLEA AGREEMENT to turn over accurate financial records regarding himself, his wife, and every business that he has been engaged in for the past 3 years. The Court also found that Golfis has an extensive criminal record.

HOWEVER, the crime victims are still waiting for Golfis to be prosecuted for his RETALIATION against his crime victims beginning in March 2005 after Golfis was contacted by law enforcement regarding their intent to prosecute him in this case. Golfis then retaliated, relentlessly, against his crime victims from March 2005 to August 2009. That's 4.5 years of retaliation. During this time, Golfis contacted the victims' relatives and others to cause false statements about the victims to be provided to many, including his "business" associates, federal agents, and to the grand jury in this case. Golfis devised this SMEAR CAMPAIGN to further his scheme.

THANK YOU to all federal employees who DID help send Golfis to prison and, despite the BROKEN system you have to deal with every day. Clearly, prosecuting Deadbeat Dads after their minor children become adults MAKES NO SENSE and does NOTHING to protect innocent children.

President Obama and the Obama Administration needs to do something to FIX the federal criminal justice system to promptly prosecute offenders of these crimes against American children SOONER than 13 years (crimes were first reported to law enforcement in 1996) AND to increase the sentencing guidelines so that the PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIMES committed against innocent children.

Giving Golfis the "maximum" of 6 months in federal prison after he refused to pay even 1 payment in more than 1 decade while owing over $500,000 in child support (per 1994 California Court Order) is outrageous when any reasonable person considers the following:

1. USA v Madoff - Madoff received a far greater sentence after he RIPPED OFF similar amounts from his crime victims.

OR

2. As reported by CNN recently, Frank Hatley was forced to serve 13 months in jail for being a "deadbeat dad" owing $16,000 then found to be "childless" and NOT the father. This "childless" man received more than twice the sentence that Golfis received even though Golfis owes 25 times more in child support.

OR

3. As reported by Tarrant County in Texas, in April 2007 COUNTRYWIDE approved John C. Golfis and his wife to finance the purchase of a NEW HOME and accepted their down payment of about $70,000 to complete this transaction.

President Obama: Please add this to your list of BROKEN systems that is NOT WORKING for AMERICANS and needs FIXING now. American Children deserve better than this.

John Golfis is still up to his old tricks. I worked for Gamut Control for 8 months and I had to fight for every penny owed to me. I am amazed at the number of excuses that John could come up with for not sending out a paycheck on time. Also, I was never sent a payroll check. Everything I received was a handwritten company check. He always withheld taxes but I have no paycheck stubs or any other records showing what was withheld. It will be interesting to see if I receive a W-2 from Gamut Control.

I finally got tired of fighting with John evey payday just to get paid what I was owed. I have filed a claim with the Texas Workforce Commision to try and recover the thousands of dollars he owes me.

I had to laugh when I read the reply from Rachael Burns. She probably hasn't been there long enough to be ripped off yet ... or is Rachael Burns just another alias for John Golfis.

To those of you who have posted complaints on this site and those who find this information, I would like you all to know that I work for this company and am fully aware of all of the accusations against them and the owners. I decided to do my own investigation and found everyone in this company to be very honest and trustworthy. I have personally spoken with one of the many attorneys involved, and know for a fact that there have been countless false accusations against a member of the company who had problems with his ex-wife. I even received a phone call on my personal cell phone from an anonymous woman who's goal was to scare me away from the company. The phone call was very suspicious and was not made by someone that had genuine concern for my safety.

If you pay close attention to the rip-off report and other websites and message boards, you will find that all of the postings are by anonymous users. I personally find it suspicious that these people or person will not identify themselves as their true identities. If anyone has a personal issue with this company, I advise you to call them directly or file with the Better Business Bureau.

One thing that this company cannot control is disgruntled artists. We cannot control whose art sells and whose art does not sell, and most professional artists fully understand this concept. You cannot control what people like or purchase. It is Gamut Control who has upfronted hundreds of thousands of dollars to help these artists. We have many happy artists because of the help and services we offer.

Working for this company, I have found that they are highly supported by the mass fine art media and many happy artists. The owners of this company are none other than hard-working honest people who are trying to help the artistic community. They deserve justice and you should give them the benefit of a doubt when reading all of the false information you find on the internet.

Congratulations for having the courage to report new information.

Each victim needs to file a report with police right away to help stop John C. Golfis before he flees. He will attempt to make false promises of payment to keep you from reporting him to police or media. Don't be swindled again by his lies because he will only use this delay to victimize more people.

Contact CBS news station and ask for reporter doing story on John C. Golfis.

John Golfis is now doing business as IOS Fine Art, LLC. He is in the Irving office that had AVD running out of it. He has a new website, www.iosfineart.com and is making a habit yet again of not paying vendors, artists, not coming through with merchandise that is being paid for, not wanting to pay employees. As we speak, Mr. Golfis is trying to say that all these allegations are lies being spun by his "deeply mentally ill" ex wife, but if you go to the Texas Department of Public Safety website, you can see his picture and information as a registered sex offender having to renew his status with them yearly. Lets not ignore what this man has done and continues to do. Stop him before he hurts anymore people.

John Golfis has confirmed his new location by registering as a new vendor at casinovendors.com and advertises his business as follows:

American Virtual Dimensions LLC

AVD has aligned itself with an internationally renowned artist to produce and market his original and L.E. giclees all over the world. By combining technologies from both entities, were now able to better serve the design and interior decorators by customizing the giclees to fit a particular decor. Along with our innovative and timeless Photos to Art oil painting giclees, AVD is leading the way in custom art technologies.

AUTHOR: Susan - (U.S.A.)

John C. Golfis has been located operating new business in Texas under the name American Virtual Dimensions LLC. He even personally answers this phone number listed.

Golfis' new business is listed on-line with "www.merchantrade.com" under category "Framed Art" and reads as follows:

American Virtual Dimensions LLC

970 Parker Square; Flower Mound, TX 75028

Contact: John Golfis at (972)899-9335 or at john@avdsofware.com

Current Limits: Full trade on framing, framed art & mirrors as well as watercolor and oil-on-canvas paintings, (Giclees) from personal or private digital photography.

Categories: Framing, Framed Art, Framed Mirrors

Few items worth noting:

1. With the wonders of the internet, Golfis has "auto-magically" changed professions... seems he's in the framed art business now! Why not? That's one he hasn't ripped off yet! Yoo-h*o! Of course, makes PERFECT sense when his last round of hundreds of victims in the Dallas-Fort Worth area during 1997-1998 might recognize him if he were to go the "high-tech" or "ink" route again.

2. Golfis is using "LLC" instead of "Inc" which is his pattern to alter the names ever-so-slightly while moving assets from one company to the next company (after running up huge bills with creditors with newly-defunct company, leaving vendors and IRS in the dust!). Golfis just ups'n leaves for the next state. Bye-bye court hearings...Bye-bye collection calls...Bye-bye parole officer...Bye-bye police officers...Bye-bye IRS agent that may have come calling. HELLO new state line! HELLO new pasture of victims! Seems I.R.S., S.E.C. and F.B.I. would like some notice on Golfis' little trick... they can add it to their already huge files on him in multiple jurisdictions over 30+ years.

3. Golfis has altered his email address from john@avdshowcase.com to john@avdsofware.com.

4. Golfis has left the "t" out of "avdsofware". Is it sneaky or just plain stupid and bad spelling? Could it be that the correct spelling is related to a company he ripped off earlier?

5. Golfis is recycling the avd name in his email address. Seems he has lost his creativity in coming up with new names.

6. Golfis is most likely in process of developing new website related to this new email address.
